The New Complete Portuguese Water Dog (Howell Reference Books)

Summary: Essential for PWD owners (or those who would like to be)
Review: A great book! It's the only one I've ever seen, but it's fantastic, with invaluable health and training tips, as well as history. And it is worth the price if only for the photos, but there's so much more. My PWD is a total joy for our whole family - I don't want the breed to become too popular and suffer for it, but I wish I had a dozen of these dogs! And they don't bother people w/allergies, they are wonderful. This book will be very helpful for owners and would-be owners.

Review: Kitty has done it again! This book is worth every penny you will pay for it and then some. The pictures of PWD's alone are fabulous and the information in the book is accurate and valuable.

Review: lots of show-dog filler. If you have your PWD as a regular, fun pet & not as a showdog, there are many pages in this book you will just be skimming over.

Summary: Only if you want to Show
Review: This book is an excellent reference book to anyone who wants to learn about the history of the PWD and how to show and breed. I adopted a PWD from a pound and know nothing of the breed before we got Cheech. I am glad this book was there to give my a general backround and some tips, however, I still would like to know more.
